Wallwisher is a free and user friendly online tool that allows users to create a digital wall of multimedia sticky notes. In addition to text, the notes can include images, links and videos. Create a wall, then invite others to add stickies.

In early June Wallwisher released a new and improved version of the tools, known as Wallwisher Senbazuru. This version is quicker, slicker and now has full iPad support.

Ideas:

Build a collaborative wall without logging in.

Add images, video and links to the wall.

Create one place for resources, available 24/7.

Give students a voice and a place to express themselves using a variety of multimedia.

BoomWriter is a great tool for creating collaborative stories as a class. Students can also share what they know about a specific topic or unit of study. Each student can add a chapter about what has been learned. Students can essentially create their own collaborative textbook.

BoomWriter is a great tool to help students understand writing with purpose and audience in mind. It is also a helpful way to get students to think critically about their own writing and evaluating other’s writing.
